Head coach Lincoln Riley’s first response to the demand for a member of his staff was the obvious comment on the Trojan program but also the reality USC could soon be without its defensive coordinator.
“I have no update,” Riley said. “This is just what happens this time of year. Especially when you have a really good staff and are doing a lot of really positive things. This is part of what happens, and so we’ve seen it. We understand it. We’ll obviously see how it plays out. We’ve put ourselves in position here. We’re obviously excited about the opportunity to keep continuity and continue to build but we’re also, honestly at that point where, not just that position, any position, that if there is turnover, these are really coveted jobs.
“And this job, frankly, is a lot different than it was four years ago, and it’s even a lot different than it was two years ago for any job, not just that job. So yeah, it’s just part of the world that we live in and hopefully we can keep as much continuity as we can, but if we do have to make any replacements, then we’re going to try to do what we’ve done, do it at a high level, and find ways to make our program even better.”
